Sure would be nice if these retailed for half of what they sell for now. I got Eagle and Bike Robo and they're fine, but they're too expensive for my tastes. I would pick Battle and Shuttle Robo for 20 bucks each.

Both the missus and I saw the movie and laughed at the Santa Claus baddie. We actually got to see him twice because the sound cut out on our showing for 15 minutes, so they rewound that section and showed it again with the sound back on. And it included that particular fight scene.

I had forgotten about it, but it's great to have his name.

Poster handling was a mess. We bought our tickets online for a really posh theater (leather recliners, etc). Zero mention of a poster so nobody got one. Would have been simplicity itself to bring them into the theater and hand them out to the 15-20 people in attendance. I called the next day and asked if they would hold a couple for me. Since they were going to throw them out, they handed me a bunch.

This line has been catching my eye for a while now, but this is where I take the plunge. Those Cy-Kill faces seal the deal for me. Hope some of the more famous designs get a similar treatment. Gasp, maybe we'll even some new Rock Lords-esque figures down the road.

Actually, my better half did. She's not into robots in general, but she's always been a Voltron fan. After some hemming and hawing, she scooped them up at Target. Everything went smoothly until we combined them. I don't know if we have a bum lion (or two), but it keeps triggering the whole "form Voltron" spiel. Any movement of the figure triggers it again. All the lion connections are solid, so maybe it's a bad switch. I'm curious to hear if others have had a different experience. I assume it's supposed to play additional sound clips when combined.

I completely agree, this figure is really only good for the color scheme, although I will say I still think his dinosaur mode is pretty good. That being said, its n o t worth $20!

Honestly, I would be ok with the $20 price if the figures were actually worth it, but honestly the only one that’s worth the price now is probably cogman, but he’s pretty difficult to find for even that!

Who is Hasbro trying to fool by having us pay $5 more for slash, a figure who was bad when he cost $15! It’s annoying...

That being said, it worked on me, but even paying $15 is too much for this figure

I have the old Trendmasters box set but after 20 years it's time for an upgrade that isn't insanely expensive.

The only things missing are some labels (the numbers in particular) and the Black Lion's weapons, not just the blade but also the hip cannons and back laser. Those might show up on Shapeways eventually.

Agreed on all points. It's not the SOC, but for the price, it's a perfectly fun & solid red lion. Hope these sell well enough to convince Playmates that a vehicle Voltron in the same style would be worth their effort.

I'm guessing with Hasbro's first run of movie Dinobots, they were going for eye-popping colors to lure kids in. Visually, this is an improvement. But that's not saying much. I'll pass & save the $15-20 to go towards MP-41 or FP Pinchar, dinosaurs that don't fail.

I’m actually going to try out a new background for some reviews in the near future! In the transition phase between then and now however, they’ll be a mix of reviews with both backgrounds before I can exclusively use the new one

Just wanted to give you a little critique; I guess showing your figures with all the paints and stuff in the background is kind of "your thing" but I always have a tough time seeing the figures in your reviews because of all the stuff you have in the background. Its hard to make out the figure's silhouette. Especially when reading them on my tiny tablet screen.
